ellie in south carolina, what did you think of last night's debate, on the mitt romney line? caller: hi, i just think biden was a bully. i thought as americans we were supposed to be against bullying. the other thing is the whole obama administration has done nothing but raise taxes on middle-class. i am a middle-class person and my tax cut was gone out of my check when he went into office. unemployment has gone up. if we follow the democratic thinking, social security will be gone for my age group. medicare will be gone for my parents. this president has said that our constitution is just a guideline that can be worked around. these are issues that i'm appalled by as an american. last night it was just another prime example of how his administration wants to bully the american people and take over with complete government control. host: that was south carolina. session wext s will switch the phone lines a little. we did this following the first presidential debate and we thought it was pretty effective, and i hope you agree. but we want to hear from swing state voters only.
